/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

is there any number of tuvixen janeway won't kill to save an emh?
I don't think the emh is necessary at this point
I mean imo the most ethical thing to do in the trolly problem is to do nothing imo. Let it do what it was going to do before you were there.
You have the option of killing 5 people or killing 1 person and you just let it go ahead and kill 5 people?
I'm going to disagree that you found a solution.
Some things in life don't have solutions, only compromises.
The trolley problem decision is entirely dependent on the amount of detail that's provided.
What if the 5 people are 5 Jeffrey Dahmers, and the 1 person is Mr Rogers? What if those 5 Dahmers had been reformed and had spent the past 20 years in selfless charitable service to orphans, and the Mr Rogers was 98 and expected to live only a few more months?
You can twist the conditions endlessly to sway the decision either way; however, I tend to agree with you: if you're given only the most basic information, the best choice is to save the most people.
If you choose not to decide,
You still have made a choice.
It's also dependent on what type of moral philosophy you subscribe to. A strict utilitarian will answer differently than someone who practices Kantian deontology.
Very true. I think Buddhists might agree with the top comment that the only moral action in this case is no action.
That's why, despite being a trite, overused topic whicha and any serious philosopher cringes at whenever it's brought up, I think it's a pretty interesting situation, where the answer says a lot about the responder. But it's been beaten to death, and I'm sure professionals are sick of hearing about it.
I love a good Good Place meme. Especially one tucked away and not often used!
She made the right call, even considering the EMH is a hologram and thus wouldn't be harmed by a trolley.

Unrelated but that movie was disappointing. But I’m also someone who didn’t like Army of Darkness.
We all know Evil Dead II is the best. AOD is full on silly, but I enjoy it through the lens of a demented Looney Tunes fan. Rise was mediocre. The 2013 remake was ok, though all it did was retell the same old story with updated cinematography and unnecessary CGI.
She doesn't look happy enough.
She's sad it weren't more tuvices
She's building the (orgasmic) anticipation. This was trolly problem number 7, time to commence number 8!
